    ORIENTAL ORTHODOX STANDING COMMITTEE MEETS IN ST MARK - CAIRO


    The Standing Committee of the Oriental Orthodox Churches in the Middle East
    met in St Mark Coptic Orthodox Conference Centre - Cairo May 7 - 8. On the
    9th, the meeting was presided by His Holiness Pope Shenouda of the Coptic
    Orthodox Church, and His Holiness Patriarch Zakka Iwas I of the Syrian
    Orthodox Church. His Holiness Catholicos Aram I of the Armenian Orthodox
    Church was not able to travel from Beirut because of the special situation
    in Lebanon. The Committee presented its working papers to the Heads of
    Churches. No common declaration was issued until the Heads of Oriental
    Orthodox meet again. There were many issues and reports on the agenda of the
    meeting, regarding the relations and dialogues between the Oriental Orthodox
    churches in the Middle East and the Anglican, Catholic and Lutheran Churches
    as well as the World Council of Churches and the Middle East Council of
    Churches.
